"We have requested the national president to make Sonia Gandhi a Rajya Sabha candidate from Rajasthan. If Sonia Gandhi is made the candidate, it will boost the morale of  Congress workers," said Tikaram Julie, the leader of the opposition.

Along with Manmohan Singh, central minister Bhupinder Yadav's tenure has been completed while the third seat is of Dr Kirori Lal Meena, who is now an MLA and minister in the Rajasthan government.
